Quite a weird one. It's not really that important, since Hardware mode is fine. Happens without the widescreen fix too. Tried with WIP93, 2.81.3 and also a few older ones. Game version is 1.05.
I couldn't repro such an issue like you because I didn't have a single savegame. But when starting a new game I got an error from the DX11/12 debug layer after the scene when the wife is found dead on the bed (with software T&L). This caused a crash with D3D12. I fixed it and hopefully it's the same problem, we'll see (good chance according to the bug type).
You don't need a save file. That screenshot is from the tutorial.
Indeed... 🙄
Ok, then the bug is fixed.
Yep, it's fixed. Thanks.
